1.3 TECHNOLOGY REVIEW

ASP.NET

ASP.NET is a web application framework evolved and advertised

by Microsoft that developers can utilize to construct dynamic
websites, web applications, and web services. It emerged first in
January 2002 with the version 1.0 of the .NET framework,
replacing Microsoft’s Active Server Pages (ASP) technology.
ASP.NET is put together on the Common Language Runtime
(CLR) platform, giving developers the freedom to write ASP.NET
code using any supported .NET language.
SQL Server

Microsoft SQL server is a relational database management system

hosted by Microsoft. Its core query languages are MD-SQL and T-
Suspicion. SQL 2008, unveiled in October 2008, succeeds SQL
2000. It featured original support for managing XML data, along
with relational data. To manage this data, it outlined an x-ray data
type which could be utilized either as a data type in database
columns or as literals in queries.

.NET Framework

.NET Framework (pronounced dot net) is a software framework

developed by Microsoft that operates predominantly on Microsoft
Windows. It encompasses an extensive library and facilitates
language interoperability (every language can leverage code
scripted in other languages) across various programming
languages. Programs scripted for the .NET frame run in a software
environment (as opposed to hardware environment), recognized as
the Common Language Runtime (CLR), an app virtual machine
that renders services including security, memory management, and
exception handling. The class library and the CLR collectively
shape the .NET Frame.

Application Development

Besides web development, you can erect normal window

applications with .NET framework still. Windows applications
constructed with .NET framework are grounded on Windows
Forms. These windows forms are partially a mix of Visual Basic 6
forms and the forms of Visual C++. Though forms appear alike as
their ancestors, they are wholly object-oriented and class-based,
just like form objects in the Microsoft Foundation Class.
Developing applications with .NET also offers you plentiful
enhancements not present in other languages, like security. This
security precautions can regulate if an application can write or read
a disk file. Together, all these traits remarkably cut support costs
within the enterprise.

Common Language Runtime

Programming languages usually consists of both a compiler and a

runtime environment. The compiler turns the code that you write
into executable code that can be run by the users. The runtime
environment provides a set of operating system services to your
executable code. These services are built into a runtime layer so
that your code does not need to worry about the low-level details of
working with the operating system. Operations such as memory
management and file I/O are good examples of services that might
be provided by a runtime environment. Before .NET came along,
each language shipped with its own runtime environment. Visual
Basic shipped with a runtime called MSVBVM60.DLL, Visual
C++ shipped with a DLL called MSVCRT.DLL. Each of these
runtime modules provided a set of low-level services to code that
developers wrote. Developers would write code and then build the
code with appropriate runtime in mind. The executable code would
ship with the runtime, which would be installed on a user’s
machine if it were not already present.

The CLR also enables the languages to interpret with one another.
Memory can be allocated by the code written in one language-
Visual Basic .NET, for instance- and can be freed by code written
in another language, say C#. Similarly, errors can be raised in one
language and processed in another language.
